Music reviews of Good News for People Who Love Bad News
Music Review: Open to interpretation.
Rating: 4 Stars
i will admit it. this was my first modest mouse cd. i had heard "float on" on the radio, or something and liked the name of the band, so i figured "why not?" the art was interesting, there was a solid single in circulation, i had heard good things...
i popped in the disc, listened to it a couple of times. i liked the first couple of tracks. especially float on [to this day, its still a great song.] all the way up to the track "bury me with it" [which is actually an amazing song.]
but all in all...i didnt actually like the cd. nothing really struck my interest.
anyway, that was then.
i believe this came out around 2004. after coming back to it a few times, here we are in 2008, and i am madly in love with modest mouse. i have slowly been building my collection [in all honesty they arent a top priority band in my book, great, but not excellent.]
this disc is my personal favorite so far. i have come to appreciate the brilliance of it.
if you are a new modest mouse fan like i was, be warned, this might not be what you are expecting, but GIVE IT TIME, and you will not regret it.
a very rewarding disc in the long run.
Description of Good News for People Who Love Bad News
It's hard to pinpoint the exact moment Modest Mouse started sounding like a real band. For the longest time, singer-songwriter Isaac Brock seemed to exist solely to defy the established rules, forging forward on sheer momentum and ingenuity. Even Pavement looked relatively ordinary in comparison to the band's early releases like 1996's This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About and 1997's The Lonesome Crowded West. But on Good News for People Who Love Bad News, the frontman sounds like he's finally touching the earth, and the band--minus founding member and drummer Jeremiah Green--follows suit. A relaxed mood prevails, not so much in volume but in attitude. On the follow-up to the group's 2000 major label debut, The Moon & Antarctica, big sloppy melodies battle it out with brass on punky epics like "Float On" and "The Ocean Breathes Salty." The lyrics are simpler, the arrangements tamer, but the vitality remains. The prevailing mood is that Modest Mouse has pulled off something extraordinary here: a well-rounded, lovable record that doesn't sound anything like David Gray. --Aidin VaziriGeneral CDs
